We are being bombarded with 'news' about how much this recall will cost.

And DPW has responded. Have this handy:

The $9 million cost of a statewide recall election is great, but the cost of doing nothing is far greater. This undertaking is the biggest investment in the future of our state and families we can make.

It would take more than 7 recall elections to equal the cost of Walker's tax increase on seniors and working families. It would take more than 11 recalls to equal the tuition hike Walker foisted on University of Wisconsin-System students and their families. And Walker's $2.3 billion in tax giveaways to out-of-state corporations and the super-rich would pay for more than 255 recall elections.

Wisconsin simply cannot afford Scott Walker any longer.

have been fighting the Walker recall effort with a war of attrition for two months. They have an ocean of funds that have been used to intimidate the legal system, spread big lies, and provide talking points to thier flunkies like Charlie Sykes. It will be refreshingly revealing to stay tuned over the next six or so months to see whether the resources of the evil can overcome decency and truth.
